Accommodation and catering

We recommend camping on the Camping Grubhof, which usually also houses the canoe instructors. There is usually enough space available for us on the pre-announced course weekends, even for possible arrival on the evening before the course. Of course, you are free to take advantage of other accommodation offers instead.
The food is also up to you. Whether you go for cereal or breakfast in the morning, whether you cook together in the evening or whether you indulge in a dignified gluttony in the restaurant, you decide spontaneously on the spot. There are plenty of shopping opportunities and restaurants on site.

Other important information

You should generally be in a physical condition that allows you to sit in the boat, stay outdoors for several hours, and move around and in the water.
Please inform us about any restrictions when registering!

Every booking should be preceded by a telephone call with us if we do not already know you from the course operations.

We ask for your understanding that the course location and thus possibly also the accommodation can change spontaneously in an emergency if weather and/or water levels at the regular location make it impossible for a course to take place.

In principle, we can only hold each course with enough participants. In individual cases, this can only be clarified a few weeks before the course date. Your registration, and thus the safe completion of the course, is only binding for both parties once the invoice has been issued. Completing the digital registration on the website does not constitute a binding obligation.

We would like to point out that cancellation after a firm booking (invoicing) is at the expense of the purchaser and we therefore recommend travel cancellation insurance. You can do this in detail in our AGB’s ...
